Wow, who would have thought this hat was possible? I know I sure didn't, but here it is- a copy of what Cuenca has been doing for years, a faster produced lighter weight brisa weave, but in the durable Montecristi straw! It's a NEW hat weave so encourage these weavers to continue by purchasing this new weave style!
It is a very durable hat unlike the Cuenca version of it! This hat did not go through the harsh chemical treatment that a Cuenca hat would always go through. The straw is also tougher and nice to work with when shaping. We're offering all the best things we normally offer in a Montecristi hat, like leather sweat bands, inner liners or sweat protectors (optional) or pinch protectors to further increase the life expectancy of this hat. Let's keep them weaving more!
Similar to a Cuenca single woven but much more durable.This Havana Panama hat is one of our most popular models. It features the classic C crown style, also known as a Fedora C crown or teardrop crown - a timeless shape that looks good on a wide range of face shapes and has remained a customer favorite for years. This hat is blocked in a standard oval, which fits most head shapes well. If you know you need a longer front-to-back fit, we also offer a Long Oval blocking option for added comfort and a better fit.
ADD Long Oval Blocking (Special Request)
The standard crown height of this Havana model is 3.9" - 4.1", measured from the brim to the top point of the crown in the front of the hat. The back of the crown is slightly lower than the front, giving this hat a more level appearance from the side profile. The back measures between 3.7" - 3.9", and the side of the hat measures 4.3" - 4.4".
Prefer a taller crown? We also offer these special-request crown height options:
ADD 1CM Higher Crown Height (Special Request)
ADD 2CM Higher Crown Height (Special Request)
Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little.
Standard Brim Size: A great all-around brim size that works well for most customers. It offers a nice balance of sun protection, comfort, and classic Panama hat style.
